6. K&R! Is BS Running Similar Anti-Trump Ads?

Or, is there a mutual non-aggression pact between Bernie and Trump? Afterall, as CNN notes...

Why is Donald Trump always defending Bernie Sanders?

On Friday morning, President Donald Trump sent Bernie Sanders a love letter -- of sorts.

"It is happening again to Crazy Bernie, just like last time, only far more obvious," Trump tweeted to his 70+ million followers. "They are taking the Democrat Nomination away from him, and there's very little he can do. A Rigged System!"

Trump offered no evidence for his claim that Sanders was somehow being victimized by the Democratic Party establishment. But, Friday's tweet is in keeping with Trump's long-held public position that Sanders, an avowed democratic socialist in the midst of his second run for president since 2016, is being purposely discriminated against by the powers-that-be within the Democratic Party.

And Trump was right there to stoke the fires of resentment and paranoia. "Bernie Sanders has been treated terribly by the Democrats -- both with delegates & otherwise," Trump tweeted in May 2016. "He should show them, & run as an Independent."

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
